My questions: Is there another way to communicate with jabberd or other servers in a way that is easily script-able? ssh? Or is it possible to write one server side script for socket and then write a mini-tutorial telling others how to work with it to write scripts and get around the telnet issue. Is there a better solution to all of this?
Instead of telnet, you want to look at netcat, the "TCP/IP Swiss Army Knife". http://netcat.sourceforge.net/ and almost certainly already packaged (usually as "nc") for your favourite linux distribution.
It essentially differs from telnet in that there is no terminal type negotiation (good for jabber testing) and that it keeps the connection open until you explicitly kill it or a specified timeout.
